Most careers today require a solid background in math. Employers want workers with varying degrees of mathematic ability for the fields of business (accountants, cashiers, real estate agents), medicine and science (pharmacists, physicians, engineers), technology (architects, auto service technicians, programmers), human services (psychologists, educators, EMTs), and others. Parkland is committed to helping its students select the math courses most appropriate to its wide and varied career offerings, and can assist those without college-level math skills through developmental courses.

The Associate in Science degree program in mathematics emphasizes scientific and theoretical applications and is designed for students who intend to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a bachelor’s degree in mathematics or science.
